So I have a track of an object using:
object = doc.GetActiveObject() for track in object.GetCTracks() : #do something
What I would like to do is get the user data the track belongs to.
for example Position Y the track is:
<c4d.CTrack object called 'Position . Y/Track' with ID 5350 at 0x00000026E9C7D190>
What I want to get:
Cube[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_POSITION,c4d.VECTOR_Y]
How do I get from CTrack to c4d.VECTOR_Y?
Overall what I am trying to do is create a port in an XPresso node for the attribute that is creating that curve.
Let me know if I am not being clear enough.
Thanks

Hi Shawn,
You can simply call CTrack.GetDescriptionID():
import c4d def main() : for track in op.GetCTracks() : print track, track.GetDescriptionID() print op[track.GetDescriptionID()] if __name__=='__main__': main()

Thanks for the reply Yannick,
using GetDescriptionID() : I get (1001,19,23) which I am guessing is the ID for the attribute that is animated.
I am not familiar/still new to scripting, How do you use an ID once you have one?to create a node im using
Node.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT,[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_POSITION])
I am trying to get from the found track Position.Y to c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_POSITION_Y .

Using
track.GetDescriptionID()[1].id
I was able to get just the id of Position.Y "1001"
I then found out that this can replace c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_POSITION like so:
Node.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT,[1001])
Thanks for getting me on the right track!

I lied,
A more advanced setup was getting lost with just the ID you do need all 3 numbers. Honestly not sure how it was working with just a single ID.
